RUMBEK, 02 March 2017 [Gurtong]-This comes after many months of peace and stability brokered by the USAID-VISTAS between the two former warring clans of Panawac and Pacong Payams.

The revenge incident occurred on Wednesday morning in Western Bahr el Naam County headquarters Pacong.

The secretary of Kok community peace committee, Mamuor Ajuong Moot strongly condemned the incident and described it as a violation to the community’s peace and stability achieved between the two sections.

“We don’t want problems of killings or revenge killings again among Kok community as a whole and this incident which occurred today must be treated as an isolated incident without interruption and peace should continue” said Mamuor Ajuong.

Mamuor Ajuong called upon community elders, chiefs and Gelwong leaders of Pamany of kok ker section to immediately apprehend the suspect to the authority concerned so that the law takes its course.

Mr, Mamuor urged the rest of the sections of Kok community to remain calm and refrain from such isolated incident and cooperate with the government in apprehending the criminal.
